Hi Ken,

It was built on an irix64 system, where the default is still -n32 if
you don't specify -64 as a compile flag.

I checked the new binary

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/binary/irix64_6.5-mips/netcdf-3.5.1.tar.Z

which was built on irix64 with the environment specified in

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/binary/irix64_6.5-mips/netcdf-3.5.1.env

and it's also 32 bit objects, since that is still the default produced
by the irix64 compilers.  If we provided 64-bit objects, users compiling
with default flags would not be able to link to the resulting
libraries.  However we'll consider adding 64-bit binaries to the ones
we now have.  Thanks for reporting this.
